Hello! This is Sean. Saturday, Sep 5 was a gorgeous day in Geneva. Bright, sunny, and 16 degrees Celsius. In apparent celebration, we witnessed the start of a hot air balloon festival right outside our living room window (pictured above). We then had a nice family outing to the Rue de Rive farmers market. On the walk home, we stopped for hot chocolate and a lemon crepe at a little shop near Le Jet D'eau. Also pictured above is our annual first day of school photo, in our new "backyard" (see first day stories in past blogs).
Hi! This is Rachel. The video of the alpine horns has been posted on YouTube. Please check it out and come back and tell us what you think right here on the blog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC1wU3xXFAQ.
Enjoy!
You're not really going to give us the temps in Celsius, are you?

Hi marvelous people! I loved reading all about your first couple of weeks and the adventures so far. You are courageous and game and inspiring! While you were swimming in Lake Geneva, we were sailing in Penobscot Bay in Maine. We had blueberrry muffins with dear friends of my parents on an island, and they told us about their daughter and son-in-law who live on a farm outside of Geneva. He started an insurance program for micro-finance loans and runs it through the ILO. They have kids about your age and I bet they'd be wonderful people to know. We'll get their contact info. It's Craig and...hmmm...I'm over 50 now, I'm not 100% sure...but maybe Sarah? Her last name was or maybe still is Labaree, but I'm not sure of his...more later. Much love from all the Hoppin-Thomases.
